The Guardian.co.uk’s Books Blog has an excellent eBook Piracy perspective piece entitled: “Who’s afraid of digital book piracy?” It’s a well-written article that manages to dispel some of the hysteria surrounding the topic by applying old-fashioned common sense and a bit of research.
Inflammatory notions like piracy are often brought up by corporate thinkers as a method of crow-barring public opinion into alignment with company aspirations for market dominance. (War on eBook Pirates any one? Please. Please DRM my eBooks so pirates can’t have their way with them!) There is a threat, no doubt, but as you’ll see from this article it is a gecko compared to the publishing world’s perceived Godzilla.
